Chapter 56 – 56. The Totality of Forgotten Things

As we fell, light enveloped us.

I miss it so much. It also had an unknown warmth.

Soon, my five senses faded and I let go of her hand holding Mer.

“Mer! Where are you!”

“Hey, here! It’s here!!”

I hurried to the place where I heard the voice. If you miss it like this, you may not be able to meet forever.

“I got it!”

“Huh! Me too… I held tight too!!!”

I was soon able to hold her hand. As soon as we find each other, Merhere and I naturally hug each other.

And so it fell into a light that continued to evoke an unknown longing. Soon we passed out.

*****

“Ugh…”

It is white everywhere. A space of nothingness.

There I fell.

“Mer… Mer! Where are you!!”

I must have been cuddling with her before she passed out.

For some reason, now I am left here alone.

“Mer!!!”

I shouted at her to find her.

But there was no answer coming back. Only the plaintive cries, presumably hers, could be heard faintly.

“There! Mer! Please answer me!!”

I followed Mer’s cries. It was so white all around that I was confused as to whether I was advancing.

“Found..!”

After running for a while, we found Merhere sitting on the floor and crying.

“Mer. Hey! Heh.. Heh.. Mer!”

“Huh… Uh…? Lord, Master…?”

“What. Oh… I’m dying of breath. Why are you here alone Why are you crying again…”

“Huh…”

I looked down at Mer, who was crying alone, and hugged her from behind.

Originally, she is not good at consoling things like this, but she looked so pitiful and pitiful to see her crying sadly.

“Are you okay. Mer. Talk. Why. Did you see anything scary?”

“That, that. I came to know. I didn’t want to know… I didn’t want to see… I ended up seeing it…”

“What? What did you see…?”

What on earth did she see that made her cry so sadly?

I asked, holding Mer in her arms and stroking her arm.

Soon after, Mer, barely holding back her crying, spoke to me.

“I don’t even know what that is. Me what it is Not a clue. It’s… Yes. Huge eyeballs. Looking at me no. They were reading this world… Countless pupils.”

“Pupil..?”

“Yes… This world… Is someone’s dream. No. It could be someone’s story. I don’t know. I just knew I was being read. Those countless eyes.. I, maybe we are made-up beings.. The feeling that we might just be characters in some narrative… I’m afraid… The owner.. I can’t stand it because I’m so afraid and scared.”

Merhere burst into tears again.

“My life.. Were all my choices and thoughts useless..? Master… No aim… Let me know. I am. Is it just a created being? What is my life worth? Are we, this universe, just connected by someone’s will…? This is a closed world. The ending has already been decided… Master. Maybe I’m better…? I… I… I who have found out the secret…”

“Merhere…”

She talked about an old dream.

She also ridiculed this world, saying that it was the trick of a divine being created just for entertainment.

Furthermore, he sobbed, saying that his existence and the life he had lived were completely denied.

What the hell did she see? She simply doesn’t think she felt God’s gaze. She was in touch with something more dimensional.

“Mer. Let’s eat one of these.”

“Eh, what is this..?”

“This is medicine. A very good antipsychotic drug. Come on, let’s just eat one.”

I took Krann’s tranquilizer from my bag and put it in my mouth.

Then he kissed the crying Mer and her.

He put the medicine into her mouth using her tongue. With my saliva.

Soon she swallowed her tranquilizer and my saliva like a baby bird.

Breathing soon became easier, and Mer relaxed her rigid body and was fully embraced in my arms.

The tears stopped flowing from her eyes.

I said gently stroking her hair.

“Mer. Listen carefully.”

“Yeah.. I’m listening..”

“As you said… This world might be someone’s dream. Maybe it’s a simple story. But does it matter?”

Mer slightly lifted her head and looked up at me.

I looked down into her flawless eyes and continued.

“If it is a story that someone has decided. If the ending has already been decided. So what. We just need to find our own happiness.”

“Happiness.. Our happiness?”

“Huh. So don’t be swayed Even if someone is reading us as if they were reading a novel. What does it matter. If for me, for us, the ending is a bed ending. You have to work hard to live to the fullest. Is not it?”

“As much as possible.. Desperately…”

“Okay. Let’s go crazy together. Although I did a lot of vicious things… Maybe the countless eyes you saw would like this story.”

Mer closed her eyes tightly.

“I see.. Yes.. Master. You are right. If the ending is decided anyway. All the misfortunes that happened to me. If it was just made for someone’s fun. I want to eat taffy proudly. I want to fly in the sky again. And.. I want to live my own way..!”

Opening her eyes again, she smiled at me.

It was a very beautiful smile. A clean smile that you don’t even dare to stain.

She was so beautiful that I fell in love.

She dug deeper into my arms.

“Thank you, master. A little calmed down Thanks.”

“Huh..”

The moment I hugged Mer, who had calmed down.

Paha..

She disappeared as white smoke.

“Uh..? What is this…”

There is nothing left. As if it never existed in the first place.

Mer has disappeared.

“This is… What the hell…”

A blurry figure appeared in front of me in my bewilderment.

The moment I saw the shape, I thought that this might be the god who led me here.

Feeling Presence from Carshinax and Indicron. This is an illusion of God.

God’s virtual image changed from looking like a child to a man, then to a mysterious woman, then to an old man, and then back to a girl.

At the same time, the shape changed quickly and spoke to me.

[Stand up. There is no time to sit.]

First time hearing But the man’s voice was all too familiar.
He sternly warned me.

[Jump. And reach me.]

I miss you, I miss you so much, but I don’t know who it is.
She gave me a goal.

[The power to twist the fixed ending.]

The old man’s voice was strict but also warm.
The old man lamented his loss.

[Take it. Cultist.]

A frivolous but cute child’s voice.
The girl showed me the future.

Soon the shape made of smoke shimmers and disappears.

The white space was shocked and cracked.

Huge hands burst through the space and tried to grab me.

However, their hands were blocked by an invisible barrier and could not reach me.

“This..!”

Stood up and ran

In an instant, everything around me broke and came crashing down on me.

However, only this one road I was running on was enduring the impact intact.

God is calling me

An evil spirit I hadn’t faced yet paved the way for me.

The white ceiling shatters, revealing the universe.

Huge beings looking down on me.

They were very angry.

[Stop!! Please stop!!]

[Obsessions that have already been expelled from the game board!!!]

[I wish I had forgotten!! It means disappear as it is!]

They shouted at me and something that wasn’t me.

They also held a scale, a stick of justice, and a lantern, respectively.

Could be identified as a symbol.

Those are good gods. They are playing

Intervened to prevent me from reaching that end.

“Aaaaah!!!!”

I ran like crazy to avoid their touch.

So the end of the road. I threw myself into a dark and gloomy hole.

At the same time, the white Milky Way road I was running on just before was smashed and the hands of the good gods attacked.

Haha…”

For a while, it rolled and fell.

Then he stopped, caught his breath, and raised his head.

“That. What the fuck…”

Huge, very open space.

It was an indescribable astral place, with stars resembling the sun burning below and the ceiling dyed with holy light.

And in the center of it was a very large snake tied with a chain.

A white snake floating in the air and twisting its body in a circle like a celestial body.

Soon, red eyes appeared between the body of the snake that was spinning.

[You’re here.]

[Finally here.]

[The existence that will inherit my karma.]

[This inside is too cramped.]

[I’m so tired of being alone.]

[I want to go outside!]

[Please. Please remember me.]

“Great!!!!!”

My brain turns into a mess.

Now I know ‘what I shouldn’t know’. The feeling of nostalgic longing is no longer longing but pain.

“You, you!! What!!!”

Grabbing her brittle head, she asked at the snake.

The moment I recognized and recognized that existence, I naturally realized that I had to ask who it was.

Soon, the white priest, who was spinning around, responded by flicking his tongue.

[I am a forgotten person.]

[Also, one who is not yet known.]

[I know everything.]

[I don’t know anything.]

[This is the beginning of destruction.]

[The end of all things.]

[I am a decomposer and an erasure.]

My name is Botamilli.

The lord of the void,

Is the god of oblivion

[Evil* ‘Botamilli’ and Joe**!]
[Congratulations*? You become a servant of *** **!]
[*God and ** close*!]
[The secret of the void is revealed.]

[All seonshin faction players will target you first.]

[Achievement achieved! ‘What not to see’
[Achievement achieved! ‘Servant of Botamilli’]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]
[Achievement achievement reward will be given.]

Something engraved on the hand It was triangular in shape.

“Sigh…!”

As I tried to hold back the pain I felt in my hand, I saw the snake reach out to me.

I couldn’t figure out why it was a hand or why the snake had a hand.

My eyes just perceived it that way.

Mosaic-processed arm as if it had been censored. No, the shape of the snake disappeared and a distorted and mosaic existence stood there.

[If you get out of here.]

[You will forget me.]

[So I have to engrave myself.]

[I want to make a place for myself in your soul.]

[Request. Borrow a seat.]

Botamilli asked to make a place for himself in my soul.

“Sigh..! All right!!

I didn’t know what kind of catastrophe would happen if I said no, so I allowed it.

Moreover, since my body and soul already belonged to Cassinax and Indicron, they should fight among themselves over ownership.

[Thank you.]

Soon a finger touched my forehead.

Something gets stuck

[Skill ‘Twisted Carapace’ is changed to ‘Distorted Scales’!]

[Distorted Scales: Creates a barrier that reflects all types of skills 3 times.]

“Sigh…”

Skill changed. At the same time, I felt Botamilli’s presence fill me.

Botamilli can now see the world through me. Just like Carshinax and Indicron.

[Good. I finally got my feet on the plate again.]

So, have you been kicked out by this time? What have you done to be confined in a space like this?

[I committed a small foul. As a result, I got stuck in a place like this.]

Little foul? It’s not a normal form of intervention.

[That’s why I’m imprisoned in a place like this.]

[Swallow errors. It’s so painful.]

Botha Mili began to lament her condition. This guy is a talkative god. She started chattering, and she didn’t know the end of the story.

“Rather than that, didn’t you say it would give you the power to change the ending?”

[This. I forgot.]

[Understand. Because he is the god of the void.]

[Forgetting is a daily routine.]

The snake spit something at me.

It was a reddish orb.

“This…”

[Swallow it.]

[Then you will be able to greatly twist the fate that has already been decided.]

[Also, your choice at the last moment will change the ending.]

[Of course, in order to do that, you have to survive until the end!]

[Overcoming all disasters.]

[I hope you can reach the room of choice.]

I picked up the red marble.

No explanation appeared on the marble. This was not an item belonging to the system.

‘Can I really eat it?’

After much thought, I put the red bead in my bag.

I’ll have to ask Carshinax and Indicron before I eat it. Because if you ate the wrong thing, you could be in big trouble.

Soon a light gathered in front of me and a door appeared.

[Thank you for coming, cultist.]

[And I’m sorry for forcibly dragging you.]

As expected, it was Botamilli who led me here.

Suddenly, the underground guards gave a damn, and the door to the ground floor appeared just at the right time.

Thus, everything, even her voice that led me, was the work of her.

I don’t know if it’s him or her, but I’ll just say her her.

Rather, where did Mer go? Hopefully… It’s not extinct…

“Mer… Where is Merhere?”

[If it’s her, she’s safe.]

[The moment you leave here, it will reappear by your side.]

Bota Mili twisted her body once.

Her chains coiled around her, crushing her scales and digging into her skin.

Pretty painful It meant that the time was up.

[It was nice to meet you. But some time outside must have passed.]

“Yes?”

Time has passed

It’s been just a few years… What a crazy… If so… I’ll probably never be able to forgive this little snake.

[It’s not that far. Just 4 days. Four days have passed.]

“Four days…”

Fortunately, time doesn’t seem to be blurry year by year.

‘Even if it’s 4 days… The new catastrophe will have already been updated.’

Please, I hope Eunji and the kids are safe.

[Okay, let me out now. Open the door and leave.]

“Then… Let’s go.”

I hurriedly opened the door leaving behind the owner of the void.

Rattle.

I was finally able to finish this damn black market full course.

*****

“This…”

“Oh, sister…”

Listening to Seong Ha-rin’s lamentation, Lee Eun-ji swallowed as she watched the zombies rush in.

“Why… Now… When oppa isn’t here…”

She saw monsters leading the zombies in the distance.

“Keeeee!!!!”

Draug.

A newly evolved elite zombie that was created after the update. A martial artist-type zombie with intelligence. An undead that beats the awakened with physical power, including body regeneration and overwhelming strength.

“Quaa!!!!”

Revenant.

Likewise, an elite evolutionary species newly created after the update and a warrior-type zombie with intelligence. An undead holding armor and weapons and slashing Awoken with skilled weaponry.

“Le- Via.. Grancio..”

Wight.

Again, an evolutionary species. An undead that also has intelligence and wields a staff to use black magic.

Monsters that are hard to deal with have attacked the mart. That too, in groups with all sorts of zombies, including special zombie warboys and zombie centipedes.

“Brother… When will you come…”

Eunji, crying, threw a shadow rain at the approaching zombies.
